I wrote this last week:

We've been "holding the browser wrong" for the past 10 years.

None of what you wrote changed in the past 10 years. You still need to do all of that for app-like behaviour.

Unless you're arguing that we should stop cramming app-like behaviour into a system that doesn't support it. Then I'm with you.
